While setting up today for the 2-day LRML match starting tomorrow, a few wanted to practice so I took the opportunity to try my Knight 45 1:20 at 1000 yards.
With my scope setup I wasn't sure I could get there, but did barely. Took 137min from 50.
85gr Swiss 2F, 530gr GG
Took 3 shots to hit paper, then shot 10 shots and hit the black 4x. All misses were left/right of target as my pit man kept telling me I was just off the edge. He could see the impacts on the hill side from the pit and said my elevation was good. The wind was driving all of us crazy today (it was 75 degrees ahead of the cold front) as it was changing from near 5mph to 25mph in an instant all afternoon.
The percussion guys shooting preparing for the match faired much better than I, but for the first time with an in-line I'm OK with 4 of 10 starting out..
31 shooters will be shooting starting tomorrow for the 2-day match; 200, 300, 600 & 1000. Weather will certainly be much cooler the next two days - who knows about the wind. I'll post info about the match results on Sunday.
